(WMT) said its adding DNA tests of meat it sells in    China after recalling donkey products from a local supplier    that authorities said contained fox DNA.  <\/p>\n<p>    Wal-Mart withdrew all products from vendor Dezhou Fujude Food    Company Ltd., after fox DNA was identified in samples, the    retailer said yesterday in a statement. Yucheng, China    authorities put Dezhou Fujude officials in criminal    detention, and Wal-Mart is considering legal action, according    to the statement.  <\/p>\n<p>    Wal-Mart said its offering compensation to customers and that    the testing its adding goes beyond what is legally required in    China. The worlds largest retailer had previously increased    safety measures after contamination and mis-labeling incidents,    including a 2012 citation by regulators for selling sesame oil    and squid with hazardous levels of chemicals.  <\/p>\n<p>    Walmart will spare no effort in fulfilling its obligations as    a retailer and in working with government authorities in their    investigation, Greg Foran, the companys China president, said    in the statement yesterday. Walmart commits to further    enhance sample testing in the future.  <\/p>\n<p>    Calls to the publicity department of Yucheng police bureau    seeking comment went unanswered. An official at Fujudes    general office who asked not to be identified declined to    comment.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>The rest is here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/2014-01-02\/wal-mart-adds-dna-tests-in-china-after-donkey-meat-recall.html\" title=\"Wal-Mart Adds DNA Tests in China After Donkey Meat Recall\">Wal-Mart Adds DNA Tests in China After Donkey Meat Recall<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Photographer: Brent Lewin\/Bloomberg A woman walks past signage for a Wal-Mart Stores Inc. store in the Shekou district of Shenzhen.
